Fontina Stuffed Portabellas

There was a time in my life that I never would dream that my daughter would be begging for mushrooms. Now often times she begs me to make her some. I love experimenting with different ingredients to fill them with. They are a perfect round bowl. I think Portabellas make the perfect side dish. If you like mushrooms and you like cheese, this recipe is for you. 
Fontina Stuffed Portabellas

2 large Portabellas mushrooms, stems removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tsps shallot, thinly sliced
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 cup sweet onion
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
2 slices of fontina cheese

Add in garlic and cook for 1 minute, then stir in smoked paprika and parmesan. Scoop mixture into a side dish and set aside. Add 1 tsp olive oil to the pan you cooked the mixture in.Place mushrooms in the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip. Cook for 5 minutes more, then fill each mushroom with an equal amount of the mixture. 
Turn the heat under the skillet off, and heat the broiler in your oven.
